Chapter 339: Imperial Order
After nightfall, the Taichang Temple is quiet, and there are few people walking in the dark and heavy courtyard, and even the lights are not much.
In a room on the top floor of the Star Pavilion, Princess Chaoyun was holding an ancient book to study, and the light on the table was beating for a while, making her suddenly feel uneasy.
was bumped into by Wu Ming during the day, and then encountered an assassin at the Temple of Chengtian, which still had some impact on her psychology.
Putting down the book, Princess Chaoyun walked slowly to the window, pushed open the window sash and looked out, and was slightly stunned.
In the courtyard in front of him, Wu Ming sat cross-legged in the center of the courtyard, his eyes slightly closed in the direction of the Star Pavilion, and he had already settled.
Seeing him like this, it seemed that he was going to sit in the courtyard all night.
"Impudent ......"
Princess Chaoyun frowned and whispered, but after a moment, a look of doubt appeared on her face.
Could it be that he is guarding the Satellite Pavilion?
At this moment, an old voice sounded from outside the door: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the old man has something to say." ”
It was the voice of Daoist Zongyun, and Princess Chaoyun turned around: "My lord, please come in." ”
Daoist Zongyun answered outside the door, and then pushed open the door and walked into the house: "Her Royal Highness the princess has been disturbed during the day, so she should rest early." ”
Princess Chaoyun walked back to the front of the desk and looked at Daoist Zongyun: "What do you have to say?"
Daoist Zong Yun sighed, and his expression hurriedly corrected: "There are some rumors from the capital today, and the old man feels that the matter is very important, so he came to report to Her Royal Highness the princess overnight. ”
Princess Chaoyun knew the temperament of this adult, if it was really an uncertain rumor, it was impossible for him to come to the Star Pavilion late at night.
"What kind of rumors, sir, please tell me. ”
Zong Yundao's face was a little solemn: "Today's princess assassination has reached the palace, and someone said in front of the emperor, saying that this is a bad omen, and then persuading the emperor to decide to send the princess to the Western Regions as soon as possible......"
Princess Chaoyun raised her eyebrows slightly: "Then how did the father decide in the end?"
"This ......"
Daoist Zongyun was silent for a moment and then spoke: "The emperor has already drafted a holy decree to send Her Royal Highness the princess to the Western Regions and relatives, and the people in the palace will come to deliver the decree tomorrow." ”
Princess Chaoyun looked out the window at the deep night, and couldn't see any anger on her face, and after a long time, she said indifferently: "Actually, it's just a matter of time or time, and the appearance of the assassin just speeds up the process of this matter." ”
Zong Yun Dao Chang frowned: "The old man always felt that this matter was a little strange, this assassin appeared too coincidentally, and the speed at which the news reached the palace was too fast. ”
"Maybe someone doesn't want me to stay here. ”
Princess Chaoyun shook her head: "After all, there is a 'demon princess' by her side, and anyone will feel a little awkward." ”
Daoist Zongyun's expression changed: "Your Royal Highness Princess, don't be self-defeating!"
Princess Chaoyun snorted: "I understand, my power is the power of witches inherited from ancient times, not some demon law, but unfortunately the inheritance of witches in the world today has been cut off, even in the classics of this Taichang Temple, there are only words of explanation." ”
Zong Yundao's face was ashamed: "Old and incompetent, if you can find the inheritance of the witch lineage for the princess, so that the princess can show the true power of the witch, the emperor will not be ......."
Princess Chaoyun interrupted the old man's words: "It doesn't make a difference, people always keep fear and hatred of unknown things, and my father will never treat me as an ordinary daughter." ”
Looking up at Daoist Zongyun, Princess Chaoyun continued: "If it weren't for the adult, Chaoyun wouldn't even have this last place to stay, I only have gratitude to the adult, why should the adult be ashamed." ”
Zong Yundao sighed, was silent, and said after a while: "It is said that the emperor will send a border army to escort the princess out of the fortress, although the border army is brave, but after all, it is only an ordinary soldier, if you encounter today's unpredictable assassin on the road, I am afraid it will be difficult to protect the princess's thoughtfulness." ”
Princess Chaoyun didn't seem to care too much about this: "My lord is too worried, even that assassin may not dare to make a move in the army." ”
"It's better to be careful. ”
Daoist Zongyun shook his head, then slowly walked to the window and looked out.
"Huh. ”
A look of surprise appeared on Daoist Zong Yun's face: "That Wu Gongzi, it seems that he is guarding this Star Pavilion all night?"
"Who knows what he's doing, but he's just a rude person, adults don't care. ”
Princess Chaoyun continued to speak: "Why did your lord arrange this Wu Ming in Taichang Temple, didn't I say that I would reward him with some gold and silver and send him out of Taichang Temple?"
Daoist Zongyun coughed: "This...... The money in the temple since the beginning of the year is a little tight, and I really can't get a decent reward, so I arranged for Wu Gongzi to live in the temple temporarily, and wait until the reward is gathered......"
Princess Chaoyun glanced at the old man, her face full of disbelief.
As one of the six temples, Taichang Temple can't even get this reward.
Although this Zongyun Dao Leader has always been more picky, this matter is still very strange, especially since he deliberately arranged Wu Ming on the side of the Star Pavilion, and he didn't know what the hell he was doing.
Daoist Zongyun coughed: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the night is already deep, and the old man will not bother you anymore, please rest early, and tomorrow you will have to welcome the messenger who came to deliver the message." ”
After finishing speaking, the old man turned around and walked out of the room quickly, as if he was afraid that Princess Chaoyun would continue to ask about Wu Ming.
......
The night of Taichang Temple was very quiet, and Wu Ming meditated in the courtyard all night until dawn, and there was no abnormality.
"Ah——!h
An exclamation sounded from the courtyard gate, Wu Ming turned his head to look, and found that it was Liyue who was walking in with a tray.
"Childe, have you been meditating in the courtyard all night?"
Li Yue came to Wu Ming with a concerned face, put down the tray and helped him dust off the dew on his body.
"It's cold on the mountain, what if you get a cold!"
Wu Ming stood up and said with a smile: "It's okay, I've always been like this, I'm used to it." ”
Liyue pouted and looked at Wu Ming: "Son, are you afraid of the princess, so you don't dare to go into the house to rest?"
Wu Ming was amused: "It's easier to gather aura in the courtyard. ”
Liyue was still a little unconvinced: "Then I'll change the room for your son." ”
"No, I don't. ”
Wu Ming opened his mouth to stop it, if he changed to a distance, it would not be good to take care of the Star Pavilion.
"Oh well~"
Liyue picked up the tray again: "Childe, I took breakfast, you can go back to the house and eat some first." ”
Wu Ming nodded, and returned to the house with Liyue.
Liyue put the tray on the table, and then looked back at Wu Ming: "Childe, I have something else to tell you." ”
Wu Ming sighed: "What's the matter?"
"Today, the guild in the palace came to Taichang Temple to convey the holy decree, and they wanted to bring many people, and those people were very fierce. If you have nothing to do, don't go out and walk around at will, lest you get into trouble. ”
